About: I am a pet groomer of 10+ yrs. I am cat and dog CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked in a vet clinic for 2 years as a groomer where I filled in for vet techs also. I have completed dog training courses and animal behavioral courses. Taking care of pets is more than just a job. It is something I am passionate about, and providing the best care for pets of all shapes and sizes I am a house call dog groomer running my own buisness so I makes sure to schedule everyone around eachother to make sure all the pets in my care are taken care of. I am very flexible as every dog and or cat has different needs. I have slip leads and extra leashes if needed but would prefer if you had your own. For pet walking I ask that you have a secured collar or harness to use for their walk. I have poop bags on hand always. If you send me a message telling me what your looking for specifically I can do that or we can talk it out to fit your needs. If I am pet sitting in your home I would like a list of things for your pet like food and or medications, how much they need and when they need them etc. How often you want them taken out. Are you looking for someone to stay overnight or make visits throughout the day, etc. As I said I am very flexible it just depends on what your pets needs are and what is available

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs. Growing up in a household where our pets were family, I learned early on the importance of patience, consistent routines, and, of course, plenty of affection. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch in the yard, or just some quiet company on the couch, I am dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can dedicate afternoons, weekends, and holidays entirely to pet sitting, meaning your furry friend becomes my primary focus. I treat pet care as my main priority during these times. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs that range from energetic puppy to an older couch potato. I can accommodate whatever needs your pet may have.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals such as; dogs, cats, birds, turtles and even fishes. I enjoy helping people care for their pets while being at work, school or out for vacationing. It’s been my passion to help train animals and feed them and take them for vaccinations or grooming and walks and etc. I’m currently working part time due to myself having a kid to take care of but other than that I can still manage to take care of any animal that is in need of a caring home. I’m also available to provide services at my own home just as well as going to someone else home. I’m available five days out the week during early mornings or late evenings. I provide toys, cages, food, water and little treats for dogs and cats or birds. I play with them bathe them, walk them feed them and also train them as well if needed.

About: I understand how important it is for your pet(s) to be walked a certain way, have their food prepared exactly how they like it (because if not, they simply won’t touch it), and be groomed to their personal comfort. That’s why you can enjoy confidence and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by a genuine animal lover who will do everything possible to make them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. I live in the county, about 18 minutes outside of Starkville, and I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care for pets in the surrounding area. I offer flexible scheduling with reliable, on-time visits, because pets thrive on routine and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, midday check-in, evening walk, or consistent daily care while you’re away, I make their schedule a priority. You’ll never have to worry about rushed visits or missed routines — your pet’s comfort always comes first. Safety, trust, and consistency are at the core of my care. I follow all instructions closely, maintain secure entries and exits, and keep a watchful eye on your pet’s behavior and wellbeing during every visit. You can trust that your home and your pet are always handled responsibly and with full attention to detail.
